Sandra Binkley
One by one, three teens took the witness stand and described alleged sexual encounters with a popular Portland High School math teacher.
The boys testified at a preliminary hearing Wednesday they met up with Sandra Binkley, 36, in a locker room office, a classroom closet and her car and home. She is charged with three counts of statutory rape by an authority figure and one count of sexual battery by an authority figure.
David Ridings, Binkley's attorney, focused on their fuzzy recollections and also claimed that one of the teens had raped Binkley in the office. The teen denied it.
"I don't force sex upon anybody, never," testified the teenager, who graduated from Portland High School over the summer. In the end, Special Judge Randy Lucas found probable cause to send the case to a grand jury. Ridings' defense is that Binkley was raped and the two other teens are lying to protect her attacker. Ridings' questioning was a preview of the case that ultimately could go to trial.
